Nexus 5X Teardown

了解如何使用此视频修复你的Nexus 5X。

简介

It’s been a couple years since Google unveiled its last 5" smartphone, the Nexus 5, and a lot has changed since then—the Nexus family's been augmented by a premium 6" phablet, a highly acclaimed 7" tablet, and even a full-fledged set top box. One thing remains constant though—we’re still tearing down Nexii as fast as they (in this case, LG) can make them! Today we’re looking at the Nexus 5X—successor to the Nexus 5 which impressed us with its modular design and ease of access. Will the 5X earn the same high marks? Join us 'round the teardown table as we find out!

That wasn't so bad! Things are looking up for the 5X as we get our first glimpse at the interior of the phone.

The Wi-Fi, MIMO, and GPS antennae still reside on the rear case, along with the NFC antenna which formerly lived on its own control board. Unfortunately, those super convenient labels from the Nexus 5 have transformed into cryptic codes.

Luckily, this sticker on the inside of the back panel has all the essentials: IMEI, country of origin, and the model number: LG-H790.

Our spirits soared as we spied the 2700 mAh battery sitting in plain view—a removable battery is hard to come by these days.

But alas, it was not to be. The battery connector is squirreled away beneath the midframe, and it's totally inaccessible for now.

Piggybacking on the midframe, we find the Touch ID Nexus Imprint fingerprint reader.

Google claims Imprint can recognize a fingerprint in just 600 ms—quick enough to skip the lock screen entirely.

Flipping the Imprint over reveals an unidentified control chip and our favorite, spring contacts! These connectors are much more durable than traditional connectors that snap into place, and they're much easier to work with during repairs. Win win!

The 5 MP front-facing camera is the last component preventing us from relieving this phone of its motherboard.

So, why don't you make like a tree and get outta here?

Off comes the motherboard, leaving behind the screen and I/O ports... Well, all except the USB-C port. This doesn't look good.

Similar to the LG G4, the USB-C port is soldered to the motherboard—not an easily replaced daughterboard. Unless you know how to microsolder, you'll need to replace the motherboard when the port fails.
